John 17:1-5

Listen to John 17:1-5

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee,

2 since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

4 I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do;

5 and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made.

Glory Defined, Part 2

JP Jones

I glorified you by doing what you called me to do! That should be the aspiration of every follower of Jesus Christ! Because that's the meaning of life! That's why we're here! That's the point of life! Glorifiying God! And remember, when we give ourselves to that, when we pursue that, we find our greatest joy!

Eternal Glory

Pastor Jack Morris

Pastor Jack Morris takes us to the final week of Jesus’ earthly ministry. As recorded in John 17:1-5, Jesus lifts His eyes to Heaven and prays, knowing the cross is just ahead. He willingly faced suffering and death to redeem us from sin. But the story doesn’t end there. The grave could not hold Him. His resurrection power not only conquered death—it continues to transform lives today. Be encouraged as we reflect on the sacrifice, the victory, and the living hope we have in Christ.

Eternal Glory

Pastor Jack Morris

In the final week of His life Jesus was concluding His ministry on earth and faced death on a cross to redeem us from sin. We can rejoice in knowing that the grave could not hold Him and His resurrection power is still changing lives today. John 17:1-5 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."
